 Bring the Joy of You to Your Life

“We all have resources hidden within ourselves, but sometimes we need help to access them.

My goal is to help you find within yourself the clarity, direction and courage to take the action you need to make your best life a reality.”

Activation Method - Life Coaching

Activation Method Coaching, which is what I practice, can be helpful for just about anyone.  Whether you are struggling with an issue, working toward a goal, going through some sort of transition, or just wanting to bring a little extra joy into your life or relationships, a Life Coach can be invaluable.

We all have resources hidden within ourselves, but sometimes we need help to access them. Activation Method Life Coaching works to help you find within yourself the clarity, direction and courage to take the action you need to make your best life a reality.

To begin this journey, I will take the time to get to know you and help you know yourself a bit better. Then, together we will work with proven strategies that will assist you to make the changes you decide are important.  We will work within your unique set of needs to identify obstacles and set realistic goals for overcoming them. 

I believe in you.  I believe that you can find the keys within yourself. Together we can make this happen!

My Background

Hi! My name is Brenda Isaak Takao.  I have led an interesting life, centered to a great extent around learning and creativity. 

I received my B.Ed. Degree with a major in English and a minor in Art in 1995, and then my Journeyman Certificate in Welding in 2002.  In 2004, I completed my Diploma in Interior Design, and in 2013, I took my White Belt in Nia (a dance fusion exercise). 

Along the way, I have taken psychology courses with a view to possibly take a Masters in Art Therapy, but it hasn’t happened yet.  I am currently working as an Artist as well as a Personal Life Coach. 

While I find that my art career is very fulfilling, there remains a void in me that can only be filled by giving back to those around me.  The call to help others reach their potential and their joy is strong in me, and so I have embarked on the Life Coach journey.  Join me for awhile on this journey, and let’s find your joy together.

Frequently Asked Questions about Life Coaching:

Q:  Who do you work with?

A:  I currently work with anyone who wants to make a change in their lives and wants support in this.  Any age, gender, or creed.

Q:  What makes your method more effective than other methods?

A:  Activation Method Life Coaching is client centred.  That means, we always focus on what you decide is important.  It also means that we are looking for the strengths that you already have, but have not learned to access or adapt to your current goals.  Activation Method is also built around a set of proven strategies that will help to open you up to your potential.

Q:  Do you use pressure, guilt or shame in your work?

A:  No!  I certainly would not stick around to listen to shame or guilt in any relationship, and nor should you.

Q:  Do you treat depression, anxiety, or other clinically diagnosed mental health issues?

A:  No.  I am not trained or licensed to treat those issues, and if you present with something that looks like one, I will refer you to a medical health professional.

Q: What does it cost?

A: I have decided to work on a sliding scale so that I can help more people who really want help. Also, as of March 2020, I am offering free mini sessions to anyone who needs it for the duration of the Covid-19 crisis. These mini sessions are not an introductory clarity session, but an actual session to let you be heard, and helped.
